It is so unbelievably beautiful at Bodensee (the German/Swiss/Austrian name for Lake Constance).Here are some sketches from our holiday with shockingly bad text by an enthusiastic German learner (ME!). I hope you like them...

From the train in Singen;
In the airport coffeeshop;
Through the window.
What a wonderful way to document a trip - so much more personal than photos! I especially love the girl and ducks picture, and the chocolates ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't take many photos anymore. I used to take hundreds and never look at them again whereas painting the scene helps to fix it in the memory. I have now sewn the sketches into a sweet little book with leaflets and train tickets etc.
